Hi,
You may have to sit out of the classes for a minimum of 2 days.
Please give adequate rest to your calves. Take over the counter analgesics like paracetamol for 2 days after food.
Topical ointments like Volini also help.
Do not worry, you should be fine soon.

Take at least 7 days complete rest.
But you should not dance before pain goes
